@Matt... did our friend lay an official charge and send you a case number with a court appearance date?

@Belinda Roxburgh did you lay a charge of harrasment and fraud against this scammer yet?

We cant let this get swept under the carpet with a little bit if typing skills in the form of a letter from the desk of Taun Bewsher 

Yes, a case number was shared: CAS 367/3/2025 (Stellenbosch)

No court date at this stage. We have been in court with Mr Bewsher on prior occasions. That case was dismissed with a cost order in our favour.

Thank you for this message. Yes, have done everything within my power. Including a lot of research on this guy. He has done this countless times and appears to be masterfull at reincarnating himself when things catch up with him. If he had spent all his energy and time on one legitimate adventure business, he would be doing exceptionally well!! What is also concerning is the number of charities he appears to be connected with. And I assume that overseas cyclists and adventurers have been an enormous source of clients for him, blissfully unaware. I would still have no idea if I hadn't by chance googled Taun Bewsher. It was quite a shock! And unbelievable that he is still walking free... Many people have opened cases of fraud against him , I think he eventually settles his debts when cornered or his family pays to keep him out of jail. And there are also many who haven't laid charges because it's time consuming or they had no idea what they were dealing with or they know and realise the futility so they just write it off and move on and forget about it which is what keeps Taun going. Very sad for those who save for months for family holidays/ cycle trips/ tours only to lose their money and no holiday happen. AI definitely made things easier for him although he already has copies of every possible legal document from way back so no problem churning these "intimidating" letters out 👀

Any other suggestions here are welcome. Just really glad to have found this chat forum, feels like a support group, thanks 😊🌟

Thanks Belinda, did you open a case of fraud and harrasment against him too?

Depending on the terms of the cost order you would have to pay.. it’s a court order.. you’d surely be in contempt if you didn’t pay.. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Taun Update: Finally Arrested today!! So hopefully this is the beginning of the end of his lucrative deceptions. 

Just heard that he borrowed an e-bike from Specialised Stellenbosch last year to do recce for Cederberg MTB , he never returned the bike and then actually sold it🙄. And his landlord been receiving fraudulent pops for quite some time before realising money wasn't reflecting so also has an open saps case against him. 

Feel really sorry for his parents and trying not to feel sorry for him😬

This loser bloviating shitgibbon is no more than a proverbial stain on a discarded third-hand jockstrap imo.  I'm only sorry that anyone lost cash and a promising adventure and that it took quite as long to effect an arrest.

If Taun Bewsher and Zuma were drowning, and you could only save one of them, what kind of sandwich would you make?

Shew me! If numbers could talk it would be quite interesting to see the amount of his ways.

Incredible work @Belinda Roxburgh

He has pulled the "rental bike got stolen stunt before too".

As a man of stats myself I would be very interested in this information

Did he really get arrested? 

And sorry to pester, but did you open your fraud and harrasment case yet? 

As for bail, it'll be a trivial amount that we all will gasp at, as the state will not oppose bail knowing full well the cells are full, so they'll post some crap like R1000

Im busy with my attorney in CT to determine if the case number and docket @Matt received and shared is actually legit. Tomorrow we talk to the clerk of the court in stellies to see if its real. (Still hoping @Matt can share it with me as it should be public knowledge anyway and wont be breaking any laws)

I am no legal eagle, but I am pretty sure that the mounting burden of evidence against him that has been piling up over the course of the last few years means he is a creature of habit and will likely have a tough time convincing a judge why he should be allowed to serve his time under supervision and not inside Goodwood corrections facility for instance.

I feel for his parents for sure, to a degree. He's their son, and they will always help him, as they should, but there comes a point where not helping and letting the process of justice serve out is the loving thing to do.

I hope he gets the help he needs.
